How they differ

Cambodia also has the larger population: 17.4 million against 5.9 million, 2.96× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 96 in Cambodia against 35 in Wisconsin: Cambodia is 2.77× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 13,500 km apart.
On a standard web map Wisconsin looks larger than Cambodia: Cambodia at 13°N is drawn about 1.1× too large and Wisconsin at 45°N about 2.0×, so the map shows Wisconsin as 1.76× the size of Cambodia, when Cambodia is 1.07× the size of Wisconsin.
Together Cambodia and Wisconsin cover 350,000 km², close to the size of Republic of the Congo (345,000 km², 1.6% smaller).
The gap between them, 11,700 km², is about the size of Falkland Islands (11,600 km²).
At Wisconsin's density, Cambodia would have 6.3 million people (it has 17.4 million). At Cambodia's density, Wisconsin would have 16.3 million (it has 5.9 million).
Wisconsin's centre is 31.9° of latitude, about 3,550 km, farther north than Cambodia's.
Cambodia ranks 90th of 246 countries and territories by area.
Wisconsin is the 22nd largest of the 51 states and districts of the United States and covers 1.8% of its area; it is the 28th most densely populated of them.
Wisconsin lies about 32° of latitude (roughly 3,550 km) north of Cambodia.
Shared out evenly, each person in Cambodia would have about 10,390 m² and each person in Wisconsin about 28,740 m².
Laid side by side, Cambodia and Wisconsin would cover 350,000 km², about the same size as the Republic of the Congo.
Together they have 23.3 million people, about as many people as Burkina Faso.
Counted as a country, Wisconsin would rank 91st by area and 115th by population.

Sources and method

Outlines: Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, public domain for the region; Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 0 - Countries, public domain
Boundary: De facto, as drawn by Natural Earth. A region is drawn whole, every island included; a country is its main territory.
Area: Measured on the WGS84 ellipsoid from the full-detail outlines, shown rounded.
Drawing: Each outline is projected with an equal-area projection centred on its own centroid, so areas stay true and the two can be laid over each other.
